High School Wrestler Builds an Amazing 16 lbs
of Muscle in 16 Weeks AND HE'S STILL GROWING!
As you can see from Mike's amazing transformation, not ONLY did he gain a HUGE amount of muscle, he dramatically improved his posture! He was wrecking guys during the season and had a break out year. We had many setups during his training like rehabbing a shoulder and forearm injury and we used the strategies in the AMD AER manual and integrated them into the AMD system to quickly help Mike get back to wrestling.
Insane 9lbs of Muscle in Only 8 Weeks!
"I lead an active lifestyle, I'm in the Army, I have a wife and an 18 month daughter. I was looking for a program to cut my time down in the gym. The AMD program...has totally changed the way I work out. 30 minutes in the gym and you're out!"
Bill Long

Professional MMA Fighter and The Ultimate Fighter 8
Contestant Prepared for His Winning Fight with AMD
"As a MA student in Sports & Fitness, I am a huge fan of anything related to Strength & Conditioning. Additionally, I have been a huge fan of the DieselCrew.com website. I immediately reached out to Smitty for help in organizing my workouts for what I knew would be the biggest fight of my life."
"Come fight time, I felt stronger and fresher than I have for any of my past fights and was able to impose my will on an opponent who was 4 inches taller, and at least 15 lbs heavier come fight time. There are a lot of people who have helped me get to the level of competition that I am at today (the UFC), and Jim Smith is among those people. I will undoubtedly be looking to keep "Smitty" on my staff of coaches as I continue in the sport of mixed martial arts."
Jim's Note: Tom's program was built on the AMD 2.0 foundation and everything was setup according to the AMD 2.0 template
Tom Lawlor
The Jungle MMA & Fitness
My name is Jim Smith and I am a strength coach, lecturer and author of numerous innovative strength manuals and DVD's.
Why should you listen to me? I have trained elite athletes from virtually every sport. I am an expert author for Men's Fitness and a member of the Elite Fitness Expert Q&A staff. I am also Certified as a Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) through the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA).
I know what it is like to be the small guy. Trust me. When I was a sophomore in high school I wrestled at 98 lbs at a height of 5'10"! I rarely trained except for some bodyweight exercises for wrestling and had no idea what to do. As I progressed through high school, I grew to an 'impressive' 6'0 and 125 lbs during my senior year.
In college, I started getting serious with weight training and I remember going down into the weight room and watching these guys throwing up 70 lb dumbbells on the incline bench and thinking to myself, "One day I'll be able to lift those!" Unfortunately, at the time, I was struggling with the 30 lb dumbbells. I kept struggling along with no direction and finished college at a weak 160 lbs.
Determined to get big and strong, I started reading everything I could get my hands on, from Iron Man, Flex and Men's Health magazines to those old Charles Atlas "kick sand in your face" home courses. I gained a little more weight over the next couple years trying every routine I could find, but they all left me feeling beat down, irritable and made me hate going to the gym.
Not until I got certified as a strength coach in 2001 did I finally discover the truth about how muscle and strength were built. Not with endless sets of smith machine squats, concentration curls and other gimmicky exercises and programs that the 'experts' were teaching in the magazines, but instead with programs designed around big, compound exercises, free weights put together in a specific SYSTEM.
Once I discovered the truth I dove in head first. I reached my bodyweight goal of 225lbs. I studied every book and bit of research I could get my hands on. I met with the real experts when it came to building size & strength. I attended every conference I could…all in a quest to be able to develop the most comprehensive program ever offered specifically designed to build muscle, get stronger, avoid plateaus while also improve your posture and overall movement.
Over this span I've written for the most popular muscle building websites and magazines in the world. I've created strength manuals purchased by fitness enthusiasts and coaches from over 67 countries and all 50 states and personally trained elite athletes in almost every sport.
And now I'm finally ready to offer the most complete, powerful size & strength building program ever developed...
With the Accelerated Muscular Development 2.0 System, I have eliminated ALL of the guess work so you don't have to make the mistakes that I and thousands of others have made trying to build muscle, cut fat and get strong. I've provided a step-by-step system, with an easy to follow template.
This proven system will accelerate your muscle gains - in fact you will see massive results in as little as 12 weeks.
In fact, this is what you can expect with Accelerated Muscular Development 2.0...
Build More Muscle Mass – finally the right exercises done at the right intensity and in the right sequence. A no hassle, easy to follow, step-by-step system.
Improve Your Posture – and help you counter all of the negative effects from the day like sitting in front of the computer or on the couch for hours. You can't just go into the gym after work without warming up and activating the proper muscles and mobilizing the right joints.
Incorporate Shorter Workouts – get in and get out of the gym in record time with short, intense workouts! Get back to your life and stop spending endless hours of wasted time away from your family.
Build a Rock Solid Core – and you will prevent injuries, create stability and perform on the field and kill it in the weight room while reducing your chance of getting injured.
Increase Your Confidence – when you achieve your goals it will allow you to continue to make new goals and achieve them as well. There is no greater feeling in the world than finally hitting that big squat or deadlift or taking off your shirt and being ripped.
The Accelerated Muscular Development System has been helping guys reach their size & strength goals for over two years. High school athletes, professional MMA fighters, busy dads…guys from all walks of life building muscle & getting strong using short, effective AMD training sessions.
"Amazing book, very well put together, very inventive and original. Some of those things I have never seen. It is a Cut-Above!!! Top notch. I think it is incredible! THANK YOU!"

"Instantly Noticed a Significant Increase on All My Lifts"
"Look no further for a comprehensive training manual. Smitty has developed the most hardcore, no bullshit, core training program you'll find. Forget everything you know about training and read this book. When I started using just the exercises from the Power Core Manual, I almost instantly noticed a significant increase on all of my big lifts, especially deadlifts and squats. And that is just one manual in the full AMD 2.0 system! Not only has it taken my strength to the next level, it's fun. I absolutely hate traditional training. It's boring and totally unsatisfying. AMD 2.0 brings a new variety into the game that not only pushes me to the max, but it gives me an incredible sense of satisfaction too. The exercises are insanely effective to say the least. Thanks Smitty!"

"I became the strongest I had ever became!"
Well here is my best summary of AMD/AMD AER manuals and my experience with this program. First off I am a Marine (7 years now) and getting my strength goals is hard to fit into my already packed fitness schedule.
Smitty introduced me to AMD when I was deployed in 2009, for the next 6 months (which has turned into a year and half of AMD total to date). I became the strongest I had ever became. The amount of knowledge I learned about muscle strength and conditioning was amazing, it made me go and research more about what I was doing to my body. The AMD program will tax you in a way that cross-fitters feel but with the strength that I was looking for. Coming from a endurance background and looking to get my strength back it was amazing! A year and half ago I had a fraction of my current stats of a 365lbs squat, 500lbs deadlift and a 265lbs bench. I am now eating healthy since I am not deployed and weigh 194lbs at 6 1, and only see my growth continuing. I remember people asking me and looking at me crazy when I would knock out 12 chinups with 45lbs then do incline 70lbs DB bench press for non-stop for 5 minutes. The feeling you get is amazing after a couple weeks of AMD. But we all can lift weights and get strong right....well Smitty's program AMD AER manual and his posts on Diesel Crew are, the Injury Prevention Medicine we all should be listening too!!! I foam roll every time and do a functional warm up and cool down, stretch and have not had an injury in the over 2 plus years I have been following Smittys posts. What is being strong if you are hurt all the time. Overall AMD has gotten me strong but AMD AER manual and Smitty have kept me healthy.

"I Am Now Pain Free!"
"When the MD's, Chiropractors, Physical Therapists, and Message Therapists all told me what was broken, they gave no solutions. After 5 years of shoulder pain, I am now pain free and able to return to normal activities. Your advice and AMD 2.0 program is worth 50 times the price I paid!"
Patrick Lynch
"... get results without spending hours in the gym..."
"I would just like to say thank you for producing a great program with AMD. I am starting my 12th week at this point, and I am really liking so many aspects of the program. It teaches how to structure a program so that you get results without spending hours in the gym at a time. It's not a 'shortcut', it's the real deal - working out hard and doing it smart. I feel it and see it. Also, the way that it teaches techniques to stay healthy and reduce the risk for injuries, and how to rehab areas that need it - all that is phenomenal. As if that wasn't enough, Jim Smith is just great at answering questions and he obviously cares that people who use this program get results."
"I completed PXXX prior to starting AMD There was no way that I was going to stick with a program that demanded more than 7 hours a week of exercise. AMD is training smart, and getting me maximum results."
All the best,
"This routine is off the hook!"
"The routine is time effective as well. The focus on the warm up and the stretches, as well as the cool down, helped to keep me injury free and feeling awesome. The routine itself is off the hook."
The complete, breakthrough Accelerated Muscular Development 2.0 System is an all encompassing system that provides proven, time-tested workout templates and comprehensive exercise index for building slabs of muscle in the SHORTEST AMOUNT OF TIME POSSIBLE.
AMD Power Core gives you the torso strengthening power to execute on the field or in the weight room. And finally, AMD Essential Recovery will improve your posture, allow you to move better and decrease potential injuries.
Honestly, I couldn't take it anymore. The internet is filled with empty promises and so called "gurus" who are just here to rip you off and never deliver on their outlandish claims.
I have read, studied and seen most of the products available for building muscle and increasing your strength levels…and to be quite honest, they suck. They have tons of filler and are from "trainers" who have never trained anyone and can barely train themselves.
Their websites are full of fluff and you never see a video of them getting under the weight. If you barely train yourself, how can you show other people how to train? How can you inspire people? I would never ask you to do anything I haven't already tested and done with outstanding results.
I created this system to help you hit the ground running and make the quickest, safest and most explosive gains you have ever experienced. There is no fluff, just a straight to the point, easy-to-follow program.

"AMD 2.0 is a no-frills, and no-nonsense, approach to gaining muscle and shedding body fat. While many gurus are quick to spout off about secrets, tips and tricks, Smitty gives you a straight-forward approach that is virtually guaranteed to help you get results."
"Most importantly, AMD has extensive sections on keeping you healthy throughout the training process. While it may sound simple, this is an often undervalued component of training. Quite simply, you can't make any progress if you're constantly hampered by injuries."
"Don't let its simplicity fool you - AMD 2.0 is the real deal."
"For AMD Power Core, Smitty takes all the basic principles that should be adhered to with core training, and finds about a million and one cool ways to do it. In all reality, Smitty has more creativity in the nail bed of his pinky finger than I do in my entire body."
"If you want to kick your core training up a notch, definitely pick up a copy of AMD Power Core. I promise you won't be disappointed!"

"Jim Smith's Accelerated Muscular Development 2.0 is an incredibly comprehensive resource that deserves every bit of praise it receives. Jim not only tells you the "what," but also the "why," "how," and "when." I particularly like its versatility; he provides a lot of exercise variety for those with equipment limitations. Whether you train at home or at a gym, it can help get you to where you want to be."
"AMD Power Core is an exhaustive resource on high-performance core training that I'd encourage you to check out as well. To say that I was impressed would be the understatement of the year. It's the best "core training" program out there."
Eric Cressey
Renowned Author and Performance Enhancement Specialist
"Smitty- I just finished reading my own copy of Accelerated Muscular Development 2.0 and I just want to say - you have done it again! Almost every other training manual I've bought is either 'light' on theory, 'thin' on explanation or 'weak' on application and AMD is anything but. I must say, in my 30 years of coaching I've never seen anything like AMD and its bonuses available before. The Accelerated Corrective Strategies manual is worth the price of the entire program alone! I appreciate the time it must have taken to put this program together, it is truly a masterpiece!"

"Jim Smith is one of the most innovative coaches in our industry. His new AMD 2.0 system, represents what Jim is all about - quality, unique material which is backed by science and works in the REAL WORLD! I can't wait to try some of his exercises with my athletes!"
Joe DeFranco
Owner, DeFranco's Training Systems, LLC
"When Smitty sent me his new AMD Power Core Manual book I was immediately excited because I knew that coming from him it was going to be good. I had no idea just how good, though. Smitty never does anything half ass and always over delivers. This would prove to be no exception. When I started looking through it I was blown away. This is not something that was slapped together over a weekend like a lot of stuff out there. It's readily obvious that an inordinate amount of hard work went into this and the end result is an incredible product that EVERYONE, not just athletes and coaches, can benefit from. I learned at least two dozen or so new exercises that I can't wait to try and picked up some other invaluable tips along the way. I rarely give a double thumbs up, five star recommendation to fitness books or products but AMD Power Core absolutely KICKS ASS! If you are serious about training, you owe it to yourself to get this book!"
Jason Ferruggia
Professional Fitness Coach
Head Training Adviser, Men's Fitness Magazine
"AMD Power Core leaves no stone unturned. You'll gain strength, power, stability and aesthetic abs to boot. Jim Smith is one of the best program designers in the business, and this plan is a blueprint for exceptional results."
Sean Hyson, CSCS
Fitness Editor for Men's Fitness magazine
"Jim has produced an awesome no fluff ebook that all martial artists truly need for improving striking power, absorbing contact/force better, staying injury free, while performing better longer. All the things you need to keep kicking ass! A lot of athletes really get core training terribly wrong as their training doesn't reflect these vital needs and allow them to reach their full fighting potential. Bottom line... Get this ebook if you're ready to break away from the thick under developed pack and become one of the new elite athletes."
Rob Pilger
CHEK II Practitioner, USA Boxing Coach II, Pro Boxing Trainer
"This program is creative, innovative and most importantly beneficial to those who seek greater strength and power."
"As a long time proponent for true core strength, I can say without hesitation that I was thoroughly impressed by this material."
Ross Enamait
Renowned Strength and Conditioning Coach
"AMD Power Core is EXCEPTIONAL! Smitty never ceases to amaze me with the products he creates. This book is extremely thorough, well written, brilliantly descriptive and creative. In the 10 plus years in the industry I have not come across a manual as well put together as AMD Power Core. It has everything you need to take your fighting skills to the next level. It is one thing to be skillful at your sport but to be skillful AND explosively strong is a completely different animal. This book will help you get that power you are looking for to be on the top of your game. I strongly encourage any fighter, coach or trainer to give this book a read through if you want more wins under your belt."
Mike Hanley
Owner, Hanley Strength Systems, LLC
Strength Coach
"As soon as I got AMD Power Core, I did what I always do; skip the first part of the book and get to the meat. This book is typical of anything that Smitty does - Incredibly informative, well thought out and most importantly; innovative. Jim Smith is a forward thinker and this book is perfect for any athlete or coach looking for an edge."
Jim Wendler
Senior Editor
"AMD Power Core- A product of blood, sweat and the most manliest of tears for the sheer love of the sport! Just when you think you've got it down, that you have what it takes to train or be trained, Smitty proves there's always something to be learned. AMD Power Core is a toolbox of information, concepts, drills, training patterns and inspiration. He not only educates you, but opens your mind and boosts your own creative juices. I broke a sweat just reading it!"
Juliet Deane
Fitness Competitor and Strength Coach
"I have read many books on how to train the core or abs and this is by far the most useful. Not only does Smitty show how the core functions but he thoroughly explains how to train the core. That would be good enough then but he gives a ton of great examples. This book is a must have for any weight room!"
Todd Hamer
Head Strength and Conditioning Coach
Robert Morris University
"Smitty has delivered another excellent product. it's relatively easy to create a product that will benefit the general public - it's a LOT tougher to create a product that will benefit a professional in the industry as equally. AMD Power Core delivers on both counts. Don't let the title fool you -- this isn't for fighters - in fact the subtitle - "Advanced Torso Training Strategies for Elite Athletes" is more like it."
"I've been training people for almost two decades. And have been involved in martial arts training for 25 years, but there are exercises here that I've never seen before! (be honest - do you know what a lunge ripper, a guard superman or a band-resisted-double-kettlebell squat is ?)"
"The solid part is that this isn't just a collection of exercises -- it shows progressions, programs, everything. It's literally everything you would ever want to know about hardcore core training."
"I already stole two pages that will be appearing as part of one of my seminars for Perform Better this year!"

Others are off to exciting careers. Congratulations Class of 2013!
Dr. Mary Mumper retired at the close of the 2012-2013 Academic Year after 16 years at Frostburg State University. Mary's first love is her students. She dedicated her career to teaching and nurturing students. Mary became famous as the "witch" who taught organic chemistry, a necessary subject for all chemistry and biology majors and all students seeking careers in the medical professions. For many students Mary, like all organic professors, was seen as the major road block to their careers. This attitude by students quickly changed as student discovered she was no ordinary professor. First, Mary showed these students the dynamics of chemistry in medicine. To understand medicine you needed to understand the complex interaction between the compounds of the body and the medicine. In addition, Mary also showed these students the importance of working for your goals. Students soon recognized Mary cared, and the "witch" designation became affectionate.
Her work with pre-health professional students led Mary to establish the Pre-Health Advisory Committee at FSU in 1998. Mary also helped initiate a Pre-Professional Medical Society student organization and a Pre-Professional Medicine learning community. Mary has been the primary point of contact for all Pre-Med students during her career at FSU. Many of them became her advisees. She typically advised as many as 65 students every semester. She leaves behind such big shoes that no fewer than three people are stepping up to fill them.
Mary recognized very early that the faculty members at an institution play a tremendous role in developing and promoting the university. She was not satisfied just watching; she needed to be involved and like everything else she did in life, she put her whole being into it. She has served on committees, subcommittees, task forces, councils, and advisory groups at the Department, College, and University level too numerous to list. She served as Chair of the Chemistry Department from 2000-2006, during which she oversaw our move from Tawes to the new Compton Science Center. She was a member of the Faculty Senate for over 9 years, including two terms as a representative for FSU to the University System's Council of University System Faculty. Recently she completed her second term as Chair of the Faculty.
Mary is a great proponent of strengths as a pathway to success. She was instrumental in leading FSU to adopt the Strengths Quest assessment from the Gallup organization, which helps individuals recognize and develop their top areas of talent. Mary's top five are Activator, Harmony, Achiever, Maximizer, and Positivity.
Mary will not be leaving the FSU community entirely. She plans to teach at least one more General Chemistry course as part of the Pre-Med Learning Community. She also plans to work with Student and Educational Services to continue to maximize FSU's implementation of Strengths Quest.
Mary will be missed but her legacy will live on as her former students and colleagues live up to the example that she has set for the past 16 years.
Dr. Mary Mumper recognized for her service
Dr. Mary Mumper was recognized with two awards for her service to Frostburg State University and its students. At the 142nd Commencement exercises on May 18, 2013, Mary was presented the second annual President's Distinguished Faculty Award by Dr. Jonathan Gibraltar. On April 13, 2013, she was presented the inaugural Mary W. Mumper Award for Distinguished Service to a Student Organization. Both awards celebrate her dedication to FSU's population of pre-health profession students. She has served as the chair of the Health Professions Advisory Committee and the advisor to the Pre-Professional Medical Society for most of her 16 years at FSU. She developed and led special learning communities for freshmen students pursuing careers in the health professions. She has helped countless students apply for and get into health professions schools, even going so far as to drive students to schools for visits and interviews. The President's Distinguished Faculty Award also recognizes Mary's service to the university as Chair of the Faculty (2008-2013), as Chair of the Chemistry Department (2000-2006), and as a member of a great many committees in the faculty governance system.
Chemistry students present at national and local venues

Grant to help ECU recruit, retain minority dental students
Dr. Margaret Wilson
GREENVILLE, N.C. (Jan. 7, 2013) — East Carolina University is one of a handful of schools nationwide that is participating in a program to recruit and retain minority dental students.
The ECU School of Dental Medicine, working with N.C. A&T State University, will focus on minority students through the Dental Pipeline National Learning Institute.
Introduced by the American Dental Education Association in partnership with the University of the Pacific Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry, the institute is a new training program dedicated to increasing recruitment and retention among underserved student communities at dental schools.
Nine other U.S. universities are participating in the program with the goal of creating a diverse workforce of dentists who understand the oral health care needs of patients from underserved populations. ECU began work on the project in October.
Participating schools will receive $12,000 from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, along with other support and resources such as access to online courses and fundraising tutorials.
ECU, N.C. A&T, the Old North State Dental Society and North Carolina's historically black colleges and universities will collaborate to implement the project, focusing on the recruitment and retention of under-represented minority dental students in North Carolina. This project builds on ECU's commitment to meeting health needs of diverse and underserved communities and on N.C. A&T's track record of educating students who are prepared to assume leadership roles in their professions and communities.
"The project funding will further support the ECU School of Dental Medicine's mission to educate dentists who will provide oral health care within communities of need across North Carolina," said Dr. Margaret Wilson, associate dean for student affairs at the ECU School of Dental Medicine. "We are especially pleased to be collaborating with Dr. Dinitra White of North Carolina A&T State University and Drs. Roslyn Crisp and L'Tanya Bailey of the Old North State Dental Society in this important endeavor."
Other dental schools participating in the NLI include the Georgia Health Sciences University College of Dental Medicine, the Harvard School of Dental Medicine and the Indiana University School of Dentistry.
"Our goal for the National Learning Institute is to create an environment that embraces differences so that future dentists can learn effectively," said Kim D'Abreu, ADEA senior vice president for access, diversity and inclusion. D'Abreau also said the project aims to increase awareness about the discrepancy in dental health and dental care among underserved populations.
The Dental Pipeline effort is based on the concept that dental institutions can address the access- to-dental-care crisis by recruiting and admitting more students who come from underserved student communities, increasing cultural competency of all students and educating dental students through community rotations in health centers and other safety net dental settings, such as ECU's community service learning centers. These principles served as the basis of a decade-long nationwide effort among dental schools and community partners that has positively impacted dental education and access to care.
Students interested in learning more about the ECU program can receive updates via

Ballistic Tip Failures......
Ok so here is my current problem that left me very frustrated yesterday. I was hunting on Sunday mornign with a newly aquired 30/30 that i sighted in on Saturday afternoon. I have always hunted with eithe a lead nose bullet or a hollow point(nothign fancy or special). I went out on a limbe and purchased two different types of Hornady ballistic tips for the same rifle. One was the ZombieMax and the others are the Leverolition (sp?). I only shot with the zombie max. Ont his not.
I sighted in with regular ammo and fired a few ballistics to to see the difference in grouping which was signifigantly different and i adjusted to it.
Now here is the problem. I shot a medium sized does from approximatley 130-140 yds. I was aiming for the vitals right behind the shoulder. The round hit and she jumped a good ten feet in the air and ran into the brush. I waited a few minutes before getting out of the blind, and when i got to where she was standin when i shot and all I found was hair and little bit of meat. No blood no anythign else, and she was gone.
I was walking back to camp when I saw another medium sized doe and a yearling. I got into the prone this time and took a nice slow well aimed shot right behind her shoulder. Once again it aided in her jumping abilities, and she bolted for the brush. Once again I found some hair and some meat and even a little bit of boane this time. My friend and i began tracking and about 15 meters away found some blood and tracked it for 50-60 yds and then lost any and all signs of the trail.
I was very disappointed in this situation, and could not figure out how this could happen. Newly sighted rifle, and new ammo. after all was said an doen with before leaving camp i blasted a few more rounds at a target and had a 2" group at 130 yds.
This leads me to believe it was the ammo. Any advice? or suggestions? woudl be great. Also i am switching back to reagular lead nose and hollow points. Come to think of it I took a 100 lb sow earlier this year with the same round and it was a clean 1 shot kill........

Nosler makes the Ballistic Tip bullets and has the rights to that name, so what you had was Hornady's version of a plastic tipped bullet. As for the performance of the bullets you used, it honestly sounds like your bullet didn't hit where you wanted it to hit. Better check your sights.

I killed 4 deer and a 300lb Bo Hog this past season with Nosler BT's. The four deer were with a 150grn from a 7mm08 and the hog was with a 165grn from a .308. Three deer and the hog were 80-125yds with only one deer running 50yds before piling up and leaving a blood trail Ray Charles could follow, the rest died where they stood. One doe was 322 and dropped like she was pole axed in the head. BT's do the job very well.
I doubt it was the bullet's failure to perform that lead to this, more likely operator error and some buck fever were to blame. The first one could have been a clean miss and the second sounds like a gut shot that plugged up. Did you have access to a dog that you could have tracked her with? 50-60 yds isn't very far to track an animal with no blood trail, she could have started pouring buckets a little further on. If she was running, she had to leave tracks or broken limbs and disturbed brush to follow, though that could be hard to follow in the dark if it was dark.
Hate it that you didn't find the game but you were shooting a good bullet and I have a hard time believing the bullet didn't perform if you hit the vitals.

Most of these plastic tipped bullets are really nothing more than large hollow points with plastic tips in the holes. Few of them hold together and penetrate well.
I have been a hunter and a guide for many years and the number of bullet failures I have seen with this type of bullet are too many for me to count easily.
Not ALL of them are bad, but many are. The ones that have bonded cores do well, but ONLY those with bonded cores.
If I were you I'd go back to a plain 170 grain soft point.
Those have worked well for about 100 years, and they are not "broke" so they don't need to be fixed.

Meat and hair (what colour of hair, and how long?) usually mean it was a flesh wound. Shot went high across the shoulder (gray body hair), low across the belley (short white hair). Next time you dress a deer pay real close attention to what kind of hair (colour, course, fine, long, short) is on what part of a deer. The colour of the blood can also give you a hint as to where the deer is hit. Dark red usually meaning loss from muscle tissue, bright red usually from organ damage, and very bright frothy blood from lung hits. Then next time you "cut hair" it will tell you where it was cut from. I almost always take the behind the shoulder broad side shots and I use Nosler balistic tips in my 260. A good hit leaves almost NO sighn on the ground and a dead deer with in feet of the hit.
I have taken deer with everything from 22lr to 50 cal round ball and I can assure you that proper bullet placement for the round and bullet design you are shooting trumps EVERYTHING else!
The only times I have ever felt like I had bullet failuers was shooting a Remington core loct 6mm at very long range. In this case the bullet, after loosing velocity, would act like a FMJ and just punch a hole through. Took them a long time to bleed out!

The majority of the ZombieMax bullets are varmint bullets with a different plastic tip. They are not appropriate for big game.
Don't even try it. It's even worse than the internet would lead you to believe.

Lost animals are almost always shot placement issues and almost never bullet failures.
Deer are small, narrow, thin-skinned and light-boned. Almost any bullet that strikes the heart/lung vital area will have them dead with 150 yards at most.
My guess would be that you shot low or gut shot.
Trouble is, it's guess. Frankly, so are your estimates. We've all been there. I wounded one last week that should have been a gimme. I know where I should have hit but I have no idea where I did hit because we couldn't find her.
I also know, from talking to guys with dogs that track wounded animals, that the recovered animals are never hit where the hunter says they were/should have been.... It's kind of obvious if you think about it.... if they WERE hit there, they wouldn't need a tracking dog.
Nobody plans to screw up their lives...
...they just don't plan not to.

Thanks for all of the opinions. As far as tacking these girls. It was in thick South Texas brush on a high populated/ animal traffic place. There are tracks everywhere with a ton of game trails through the mesquite so broken branches and disturbed grund make it impossible. When tracking them we would walk 25-50 yds apart and cirlce crossing paths looking for anythign that we could find. The first one may have very well been low since I was shooting from an eleavted blind. The second was the one that I found bone and everything, and there is no doubt about shot placement. the ultimate reason i posted was for information on the rounds, and thank you for what I have recieved. If anyone else has insight it is more than welcome.

Sounds like it's hitting low enough to miss the boiler room. What barrel length is your rifle? I would have to think maybe your not getting the normal ballistic profile. If you sight in a two inches high at a hundred, you should still be in the kill zone out to 170yds or more. I just picked up a .30-.30 with the trapper barrel. I consider the round short range anyway, but it's a dandy set up for jump shooting. I'm wondering how much the shorter barrel knocks down the effective range.

well I will just call it a bad situation with a newly aquired rifle, new ammo, and humman error. I hate sounding like this but I do not believe it was all me especially after putting 30+ rounds through it before hunting with it. I will take my share of it but twice in the same day is too much for me to take it all

Well, if it makes you feel any better, if my Dad was still around he'd tell you that I missed 16 times in one day. I'll admit to 11 times. I was about 15, had my Marlin 35 Rem, and the dogs ran maybe 10 deer past me. It was in Louisiana and on the edge of a slough and with all the deer splashing and me shooting and dogs yelping, I guess I got carried away with the moment. I even had time to reload. I did kill deer with first shot and last shot, though Dad always left that out of the story. I always wanted to be a legendary deer hunter, but not for the reason I became famous in the family.
My guess is that on the first shot you might have shot high and knocked meat and hair off just above the spine. Second shot sounds like a shot high in the leg. It happens.
And did you say that you had a scope on the rifle or not? When Dad, brother, and I all got our lever actions, I was the only one that refused a scope. That was a mistake. My deer killing efficiency went way up with the addition of a scope.

My tip after seeing several hundred Ballistic Tip failures is avoid Ballistic Tip ammo for game. I know they supposedly fixed them two decades ago, but my Partitions never needed fixing, so there ya go. Flat point or round nose in a 30-30.
Never try to educate someone who resists knowledge at all costs.
But what do I know?

I've killed at least 200 deer with Ballistic Tips and I still use them. Probably the most accurate, or one of the most accurate hunting bullet available. Great lethality if you place the bullet well, and great exit wounds and blood trails if the deer makes it very far. I wouldn't use on on an Elk, but for deer it's just fine. The Accubond is probably better, but it's more expensive and I don't need the upgrade.
I find it hard to believe that you've seen "hundreds of failures" when I've personally had hundreds of successes.
One thing about the Ballistic Tip is that it's probably the most argued about bullet on the market. I can attest that it's a fine bullet and I'll also say that it isn't a magic bullet. Still got to place it where it needs to be to do the job.

In the past 18 plus years of hunting white tail, I've only had one run over 5 yards using nosler ballistic tips. The only doe I shot with hornady collapsed in her tracks with an sst bullet though I wasn't terribly happy about how the bullet came apart. I'm leaning towards shot placement though I have absolutely no first hand experience with the zombie max stuff. It sounds a little gimmicky to be trustworthy hunting ammo in my totally useless opinion.

First deer. From what I read It sounds like you grazed its belly. If the fur was white or tan looking. Yep I suspect that's what happened.
Second deer. That reads. A pretty good hit on her. (Blood, bone & fur) Again a little low perhaps. But no less it was a killing shot in time.
Many times we caught up in the heat of the moment and quickly move in to where the animal was last seen for a look see after a shot. More times than not if your animal is still alive. It will bolt & struggle to move farther away whether it was standing or laying. Not because we were seen. It's hearing more likely. (One very important sense it depends on telling itself to move. Too survive!!)
You have to give any big game animal time to succumb from its wound/s. (time to relax and let its blood flow freely.) At least 30-45 minuets before moving in for a look see is about Right. Any less time spent not waiting. My suggestion then would be. Go home change out those heavy clothes and put on some comfortable walking shoes/ boots or have fresh batteries in your flashlight because your going to spend a long day / night of look'in for it. (If it indeed that deer got away from you to begin with)
To not find both animals is indeed a disappointment and a shame as well on that second doe. I've hunted since I was 11 yrs old now 68 and have taken a deer every year other than my service time. I've only lost one. I still feel bad about loosing her to this day. Well Sir. You now have your one too.

Is there any chance at all the bullet touched the tiniest twig along the way?Bullets do not bust brush.
Something about the Zombie marketing annoys me,I have not looked at them.
Hornady purpose built that Levolution for the 30-30.I'd expect it to perform properly once it hit the deer.No experience myself,though.
The pointed nose cone gives better ballistics,it will shoot flatter at range.
Any chance you held a touch high out of habit?

Might be time to head to the practice range or your going to be hungry. And while your at it, pick out a better bullet, or switch calibers, ( I know gabillions of deer have been killed by the mighty 30-30), maybe something more suitable for distances over 125 yds.
As far as the Nosler Ballistic Tips goes, it isn't always perfect, but with that bullet SHOT PLACEMENT IS PARAMOUNT!!
I shot a 265 lb 8 pointer in 1990, in the timber at a distance of 125 yds, right behind the ear and broke his neck, dropped him right where he stood.
However I've heared stories of Ballistic tip shot deer not dying quickly and when it came right down to it it was shot placement.
Scorch hit right on, the best hunting bullet probabkly is the Partition from Nosler, it will penetrate better than most premium bullets in its class.
Thanks for coming!

Had 2 failures with 165 grain ballistic tips loaded in a 308 Winchester/max charge of Reloder 15. The first was a killing shot-the animal went maybe 10 yards and collapsed. Bullet wasnt recovered but passed through the heart/lungs. 30 cal going in, exit hole about the size of a quarter. Range was about 100 yards. Thought the exit wound should have been larger on a broadside shot.
Second failure might have been a fluke and maybe not the bullet. Same rifle/distance/handload as above. Either I flinched or the buck moved just as I pulled the trigger on a broadside shot. Round hit the shoulder bone and glanced off, fortunately for me I had a moment to chamber another round and put him down. Bullet did not expand as others had and Im at a loss as to why.
Anyhow, I finally stopped reading the press reports and went to Hornady 165 BTSPs and have been well pleased with the accuracy-less than an inch off a sandbag rest, about the same as the Ballistic tips. Have yet to recover a bullet but a good sized exit wound every time.
I did try Nosler Partitions and if it werent for the cost, Id still be loading them. Fantastic results with their 165 grain in a 308! Heart lung shot looked like somebody and put an explosive in the boiler room on the 5 occasions I have used it. Accuracy wasnt bad, about an inch at 100 yards.
The Hornady bullets arent anything fancy and their price reflects it. I can get 100 of them for 50 of the ballistic tips and they do a fine job. I went from 150 to 165 grain loads because it doesnt tear the animal up quite as much but still functions well.

Shot placement is ALWAYS paramount. Until we have handheld phasers, shot placement is all that matters.
There's no way those bullets hit vital areas and failed, shattered or did not penetrate at 30-30 velocities. If you're going to shoot deer with a varmint bullet, 30-30 velocities are what you would want. Fast enough for penetration, slow enough to not blow the bullet apart.
These aren't Water Buffalo. Deer are easy to kill. I know how tempting it is to blame something besides the Nut Behind the Butt.
I don't want it to be my fault when I make a bad shot either. I took a 125 yard shot with a Savage ML10-II, that's known to shoot solid groups at 200 yards. I was seated, elbows on knees, 12x scope. Deer was quartering toward me slightly, head up, calm and stationary.
The only variable is really the shooter. The gun doesn't change. Wind is inconsequential at the speed it was, at that distance and target sizes. The deer was calm.
The screw up was mine, not the gun or bullet.
I'm not trying to be mean. It's just realistic. The OP says "...and there is no doubt about shot placement." Sorry. There is doubt. The deer wasn't recovered. Shot placement is pure speculation and is, truthfully, THE doubt.

Several deer have fallen to 165 grain hornady SST bullets in front of my .308. Those little plastic tipped bullets seemed to do the job just dandy.

Ok I will call a spade a spade. but I will also not be using taht ammo for deer anymore. Hogs yes but deer no. I did nto shoot any of the Leverevolution yet but I also do nto see too many differances between the zombie BS. I only bought it becasue it was a cheaper "ballistic". lesson learned and i will pass it on to my noy and my friends. Back to $15 a box hollow point and lead nose for sure. Going back to the old and reliable. I have killed man deer with just that and thats what it will be from here on out. Also the rifle did have a scope and liek i mentioned it was sighted in the day before. Teh ballistics of the BT's was a hell of a lot different and shot abotu 5" higher that my "typical" ammo. I adjusted to that and fired a groupe of 3 at 2" and went with it. Now i need to sight that bad boy in again to ammo I trust and get more time behind the rifle. One last thing i have to add. The bone i found was abotu teh sixe of a nickle and was smooth/flat to the likes of a rib, but that could haev been the top or bottom of one and just not effective enough to get it done. Thank every one and i will let you all knwo hwta happens whit the switch back.

If you hit the very bottom of the rib cage there's nothing vital there. I just saw that done too. It did enough damage to disable the deer but didn't hit heart or lungs. That gun was a lot more powerful than a 30-30 though.
I'd try the LevaRevolution. They're designed for the task. They'll work fine, if they hit where they're supposed to.

If it was SST's, I love them in my 30-06 for deer.
For 30/30, get yourself a FN mold and some lead and cast your own. You'll never go back to condom bullets again.

By Ranga Sirilal and Shihar Aneez
COLOMBO (Reuters) - A Sri Lankan court on Friday banned the sale and advertising of all Fonterra milk products for two weeks, officials said, following a complaint by a health sector trade union that the company's marketing was misleading.
The National Health Services Union said it sought the court ban because Fonterra products suspected of being contaminated with the toxic agricultural chemical dicyandiamide (DCD) were still on the market despite an order from the health ministry to recall them.
The Sri Lankan case follows a major global food scare involving New Zealand's Fonterra, the world's biggest dairy exporter, which said on August 3 some of its products could contain a bacteria that can cause botulism.
Potentially tainted products have been taken off shelves from China to Saudi Arabia while other countries took measures to restrict imports.
An official from Fonterra Brands Sri Lanka declined to comment on the court order, saying it had not yet been received.
The health ministry has said tests by Sri Lanka's Industrial Technology Institute found DCD in some Fonterra milk powders and it had ordered their recall.
Fonterra disputed the accuracy of the testing but on Thursday told Reuters it had recalled two batches of Anchor-branded product in accordance with the ministry directive.
Friday's court order came a day after the government said it had appointed a ministerial committee to investigate DCD and botulism contamination in Fonterra products.
Saman Rathnapriya of the National Health Services Union urged police to enforce the court order across Sri Lanka.
"When Fonterra's mother company accepts that its products were contaminated, when New Zealand's government also accepts it and prepares to send their minister to China to apologize... why are Fonterra's local officials misleading the general public by way of advertising and distributing leaflets?" he said.
Upul Jayasuriya, who appeared in court on behalf of the union, told Reuters the court had barred Fonterra from "(wholesaling), selling and distributing and/or selling for agents...all brands of Fonterra products for a period of two weeks."
The court also barred the advertising of Fonterra's milk products, Jayasuriya said.

Carrying the welfare of the peasantry on your shoulders? Concerned that your next five-year plan is going to be your last?
20th century Communist revolutionaries raised content marketing to an art form, and so can you!
You're devoted to your cause. You have a small, agile band of fellow travelers, you're willing to work tirelessly, and you have deep wellsprings of self-belief.
Unfortunately, the supply closet is always empty. You're cash-poor, even living off ramen noodles is a fantasy sometimes. You're trying to meet the public's needs with an idea, so your founding documents are important; unfortunately, some of the most important ones are incomprehensible to all but a tiny minority of the literate population.
Startup or Communist cell? Wherever a small group of people deploy information to tip the behavior of a much larger group, there's a content marketing lesson.
Here are a few lessons from the ultimate believers in the people's power.
1. Institute relentless ideological self-criticism
Chairman Mao remarked:
Dust will accumulate if a room is not cleaned regularly, our faces will get dirty if they are not washed regularly. Our comrades' minds and our Party's work may also collect dust, and also need sweeping and washing…
The next marketing classic?
No one wants to spend months on a project only to find that it's useless to everyone outside their own closed loop, so approach your long-term projects in a spirit of self-critique.
It doesn't all need to be self-criticism either. Subject area experts will often be willing to comment on unreleased content, so try engaging them in conversation on semi-related topics in groups, then breaking out to contact them for tips on subjects that require their specialized knowledge.
If you're working on a more complex website or project and have a little budgetary space, user testing makes great self-criticism, too.
Usability science is basically design Communism. It begins with the honest impulses of the proletariat (the customer or visitor), examining problems they encounter and approaching them as your design challenges, with the frictionless dictatorship of the user's needs as the ultimate goal.
The point isn't to do it occasionally, but to make cyclical, incremental redesign part of your routine. (Sites like usertesting.com yield data from seasoned testers, which isn't a good thing - but something is better than nothing, and the low price may help you secure your commissar's buy-in...).
Think of it as a state of permanent revolution.
2. Find a process that works, and iterate, iterate, iterate
Both Lenin and Mao have been quoted as saying, "Quantity has a quality all its own." If you edit a blog, for example, don't just look for interesting one-off pieces of content. Instead, look for successful processes that you can come back to again and again.
Someone at Warby Parker decided to turn the company's 2011 annual report from an obligatory, tree-killing, snooze-inducing bit of corporate hackery into a gorgeous infographic, and after they won plaudits from marketing blogs, they had themselves a formula.
If they don't do it again every year from here on out, they'll hear the disappointment from coast to coast.
3. In branding your content, it's at least as important to be consistent as it is to be excellent
The flagship Russian vodka isn't called 'Russian Amazing', it's called Russian Standard.
The Bolsheviks were hardly deaf to branding. The name comes from the Russian word for 'majority', thanks to it having dominated a single vote on tactics at a single meeting in 1905.
Ironically, though, the party was far from the majority outside its own meeting halls. The moderate Menshevik ('minority') party had far more popular support in the immediate post-Revolutionary period, but you wouldn't know that from the name. Branding win for the Bolshies!
Beyond the superficial, though, developing content is easy when you have filmmakers like Dziga Vertov and Sergei Eisenstein at your disposal, or artists like Dmitri Moor.
It can't have hurt the branding that early Communists actually paid attention to theoreticians, too, building a consistent look in visual media by using disjunctive editing techniques in cinema, and bold, colorful poster art.
We'd all like to have Spike Jonze direct our product videos or Cormac McCarthy write our press releases, but you don't need them, because you can always make sure your content hits similar visual notes across platforms.
This is one of those efforts that might seem wasted at first, but becomes more important as you go from revolutionary cell to full-fledged party apparatus, so lay the groundwork for branding early.
Medical startup ZocDoc has a look-and-feel that isn't striking by itself. The font is unflashy and the color scheme not particularly eyecatching, but it's consistent across the Twitter account, website, on press releases, in the company fact sheet and app… absolutely everywhere.
Even their company timeline is branded with the friendly, welcoming cartoon doctor. It doesn't take complicated motifs or Apple-like design savvy to spruce up a press release, just a few versions of your logo and careful coordination.
It's vastly easier to make small refinements as you go than it is to retrofit branding to years' worth of content.
4. Don't talk to the people about what interests you, talk to them about what interests them
Regardless of what your KPIs are, if you're in content marketing, you're in the business of getting attention: for a brand, a product, a website. Tailoring your media to the audience might seem obvious, but it can be perilously easy to forget.
Case in point: at MyParkingSign we came up with an idea for a sign that reads 'TAKING MY SPOT? TAKE MY DISABILITY" (inspired by a similarly worded sign common in France).
We hung the sign around Brooklyn, snapped a bunch of photos, and started to get in touch with journalists. Virtually no one bit.
I'd forgotten one important fact: accessible parking isn't as much of a problem in New York as elsewhere; so of course New York-based journos didn't see our work as worth picking up.
Had I tried the same thing in Florida, it might have worked, but I'd been focused on an interesting product and not the audience.
Would Lenin have earned his vegetables by droning on about surplus labor valuation?
As Whittaker Chambers observed in Witness, his memoir of his early life as a Commie, a life lived among party functionaries can make it difficult to see outside the party. We live, eat, breathe our products; we sometimes forget to make sure our work has informational scent to anyone but us.
The simplest, most obvious step: talk to your comrades about the projects you're working on. Not just your colleagues, your friends.
If their eyes glaze over, it might be time to go back to the drawing board. If you feel like you have a content idea you can run with, lay the groundwork by contacting journalists or bloggers with whom you have relationships for tips in the brainstorming phase, rather than merely building the content and pushing people to come to it.
Particularly for those of us who market content in the B2B space, if you can interest someone outside of your target market in content, you're probably well on your way to inbound links and/or traffic.
Producing user-centered content takes practice, keyword research, and a willingness to abandon principle for results, but it's essential.
5. Being an outsider is a competitive advantage
After the 1917 abdication of Tsar Nicholas II, the Bolshevik party opted to remain outside of government, even though the Provisional Government had all the hallmarks of an inclusive democracy.
Instead, the party deployed newspapers and agitators to snipe at the moderate parties in the government. A wise decision, as anyone who disliked the disorganized government's policies found themselves with a ready ally.
Over a month or two, the number of Bolsheviks in St. Petersburg grew from 2,000 to 15,000. Many were in the military, making them valuable recruits indeed.
What does this mean for content marketing practice? Instead of struggling to keep up with competitors' processes that are probably well established, be where your competitors aren't.
- Conduct an informal content audit of your competitors. They've never heard of Vimeo or YouTube? Fire up the cameras. Their sites are stodgy? Think about what you can gamify on your own.
- Do a few of your competitors' inbound links lead to pages that are old or outdated? Quickly build content that improves on what they've done, put it on your own site, and send an email to the linking site's webmaster, suggesting that they direct traffic your way instead.
The Bolsheviks' plans to topple the Tsar were decades in the making, and you'll notice two of these tips involve a little forward planning.
Branding requires up-front design work and a long-term sense of strategy, while good content marketing means a skilled outreach team that should forge relationships with nonprofit partners, bloggers, journalists, and subject area experts well before they're needed.
Fortunately, there are way less interesting things to spend your time on than reading up on and then contacting the leaders in your industry! Удачи - Good luck, comrades.

Love it! Particularly the bit about consistency...
Glad you enjoyed it, Neil! I have to admit, I was expecting a little more fire and brimstone in the comments...
Excellent article Conrad! Perhaps the references to Vertov and Eisenstein are too 'out there' for some readers of this blog - I used 'Man With a Movie Camera' when talking about Digital Marketing only a couple of months ago!.
Also - an implicit point you're making (I think) is that the underlying principles (of psychology / change / influencing a change in perception / etc.) actually never change, and I totally subscribe to that too.
Favourite quote from your article:
"Producing user-centered content takes practice, keyword research, and a willingness to abandon principle for results, but it's essential."
Especially the last bid - in digital, it's ESSENTIAL to abandon principles for results! Unfortunately, in my experience too many (far too many!!) companies still stick to their principles or their opinions for whatever reason (mainly old school top-down 'hierarchies' where the opinions of senior decision makers is what counts, and not data, results, or what *their customers actually want* - even though that is THE fundamental principle of marketing...go figure!).

Though I'm finishing the manuscript for a new book, Asian Tofu, I still crave dumplings. After sending the last recipe chapter out for testing today, I went into the kitchen and made a new dumpling for fun. It's a Japanese favorite, made from sweet rice flour. Gluten-free, dairy-free, nutritious, easy, and very satisfying!
The poached dumplings are served with a thickened syrup, adzuki beans and some toasted soy flour. It may sound weird if you're not familiar with some of these ingredients but they work together marvelously. Check out the shiratama dango recipe on Viet World Kitchen!

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30 (UPI) —
U.S. consumer spending — with disposable income flat — fell 0.2 percent in October, the Commerce Department said Friday.
Consumers spent $20.2 billion less than they did in the previous month as incomes rose by $400 million, a gain of less than 0.1 percent, and disposable income increased by $800 million, also less than 0.1 percent.
The Bureau of Economic Analysis said Hurricane Sandy disrupted jobs, which caused a dip in payroll figures.
Payrolls at goods-producing companies fell by $3.6 billion while service-oriented firms experienced a $13.5 billion drop in payroll expenses.
Wages and salaries rose in the public sector by $100 million, a fraction of the $1.7 billion gain in the previous month.
By comparison, incomes rose by 0.4 percent in September, or by $47.8 billion. Consequently, spending in September rose 0.8 percent, or by $84 billion, the bureau said, releasing revised figures.
